Chapter 2079 — The Events
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wei Zhao did not speak too absolutely. He might well win other events too, but until the detailed rules were out he did not dare be too certain where he would hold the advantage. The solo arena match, though, was worth a try—barring an opponent of monstrous strength, winning it should not be much of a problem.
"Excellent! Boss really is something!" Han Xiaohu slapped his thigh and cried out excitedly. "With that, our Hidden Han Family has two events we might win. That way we may not come off too badly at this Hidden World Clan Summit! At the very least, the next time someone schemes against the Hidden Han Family, they'll have to think twice about whether it's worth the trouble!"
Han Xiaohu was right. If this round of competition was aimed specifically at the Hidden Han Family, then every hidden clan would have picked an event where it held the advantage. But if the Hidden Han Family won two in a row, that meant two hidden clans would lose out.
Then, the next time they plotted against the Hidden Han Family, those two hidden clans would certainly not be so eager; by then they would probably stay out of it altogether.
"Earlier you said you wanted to take the championship in that two-person cooperative arena match, didn't you?" Wei Zhao asked with a smile.
"I did, but with my strength…" Thinking of his own abilities, Han Xiaohu shook his head at once. "There's only one day left. The Summit is the day after tomorrow. However hard I try, I can't possibly match the boss…"
"Go and fetch that Minor Qi-Gathering Pill," Wei Zhao said.
"Hm? Now?" Taken aback by this answer that did not answer his question, Han Xiaohu was briefly stunned.
"That's right. Now," Wei Zhao said with a nod.
"This… all right then!" Though somewhat puzzled as to why Wei Zhao wanted the Minor Qi-Gathering Pill fetched at this moment, Han Xiaohu rose to his feet as told and left the room.
He had not gone far when he spotted Han Tianba.
"Xiaopo!" Han Tianba hurried up to him. "Well? How many events has Mr. Lin agreed to enter? Is there any hope of winning?"
"Grandfather, the boss has agreed to enter two events—the car race and the solo arena match," Han Xiaohu said. "He says he's confident of winning the race, and the solo arena match is also a real prospect."
"Good, excellent!" Han Tianba said delightedly. "That already exceeds our expectations. If we can win both events, two of the hidden clans scheming against us will lose out. Then, when they find the spoils unevenly divided, we'll see whether they still have the stomach to move against us again!"
"Indeed, exactly so!" Han Xiaohu said. "And with the boss taking the field, they'll be somewhat wary of us from now on."
"Right!" Han Tianba nodded, then remembered to ask, "What are you doing out here now? Shouldn't you be keeping Mr. Lin company and building up some goodwill?"
"Grandfather, the boss sent me out to fetch that Minor Qi-Gathering Pill. I was just on my way to find you!" Han Xiaohu said.
